Holden Park

Great park. Lots of woodland to wander round. A kids park and a great fake cave system, which was fun to explore! Lovely gardens too, lots of grassy areas and a war memorial. Will definitely be returning to this park for another visit.

Stunning expanse of parkland consisting of a war memorial, statues and architecture, a miniature cave system, bowling green, children’s play area, basketball court, a number of large playing fields and a delightful natural woodland with plenty of wildlife and photo opportunities. There’s an abandoned quarry which you cannot enter, but looks suitably spooky, and the further into the park you go the less accessible it is, so not wheelchair friendly. Great for dog walking or simply a peaceful moment in nature.

The collection of rocks here is amazing to explore, with many different layouts and a slick contrast between light/dark areas! A memorial made out of stones at the entrance creates the setting well, as do the circular hedges. There are also other neat additions, like stretches of grass and a former fountain. Really enjoyed going here with my friend, a park that is large enough for us and fellow visitors to not get into each others' space!

Mike Holden reviewing Holden Park. For obvious reasons I place this park above the rest, wish it was my park but its not 🤣 My son bloody loved the place and thought that the caves and playground was the knees of the bees. Need to come back to explore it fully 😀

Beautiful park with mesmerising views and rocks
